The third part of the "Radio Roadmovie" series is conceived of as a homage to the French composer, sound and radio artist Luc Ferrari who died in August 2005. Ferrari is regarded as composer of musique concrète, and is particularly note for his tape music.
In his music for which he invented the term "anectotal music", Ferrari  (the human) visited landscapes in an imagery way, as much in a fictional as a musical sense.

"Riding along with Ferrari" by Canadian sound and radio artist Chantal Dumas is a piece around the bodywork of Luc Ferrari, one of the pioneers of the soundscape genre, tying this to the sounds of Ferrari cars.

Dumas understands roadmovies not only as geographical displacements - the physical experience of being on the road. A large part deals with what we construct, as individuals, due to our own experience of life: what we react to and where we are mentally when we set off for a trip.

"I think that a trip can cause a shift of mind - more than other things.I wanted to design a fanciful  journey coming out of different existing pieces by Luc Ferrari that would create appearances of different states of mind."
(Chantal Dumas)
